OT…looks like Lamar has entered the quarterback trade market

[78thealltimegreat]

Looks like Baltimore is throwing the line out in the water there and saying Lamar can be had…Id put money on the Falcons if I where a betting man since they are franchise in QB purgatory right now

 

[Special K]

Wouldn't think they would trade him to an AFC team, so Atlanta is a good guess.

 

Honestly, it could be any team in the NFC South...they are all in need of QB help.

 

Not a fan of Jackson, but he's going to be overpaid by someone.

We should trade for him and play him at RB.  We could do some freaky stuff out there!

[wppete]

Hope he ends up in the NFC. 

[Chicken Boo]

Washington is a good fit for him.  So is Tampa Bay.

[Rc2catch]

I would like to see him in another system. 
Gonna be a huge gamble for whatever team that gets him though. Gonna cost a lot of picks followed by a monster contract. Atlanta probably would be a nice spot for him but I would like to see Washington snag him. 

[LeGOATski]

Lions? They have 2 first round picks and a creative OC.

[BuffaloBillsGospel2014]

Can he put on some weight and be the fastest swing tackle in the NFL?

I don't think, and have not thought for quite some time, that the Ravens would be the ones overpaying him. Eric DaCosta is a very smart man.

So many QB needy teams, mostly in the NFC, except for Jets, some team will over pay and send too much in compensation (agree the money won't come from the Ravens). I don't care where he ends up. Each new lower body injury make him less effective as a runner and he's clearly not a top 10 pocket qb.

[CSBill]

The issue with Jackson, is you need the right offensive system to go with him (which, I guess could be said about every QB). But he is singularly unique. If someone does trade for him, they should somehow, someway, invest in Greg Roman to also be a part of their staff.

 

I bet the Dolphins try hard for him.

Interesting if they jettison him. Picks vs franchise QB? I’ll take franchise QB! They are hard to come by.

NFL went through a drought of college QB’s who transitioned to great NFL QB’s.  College talent level is certainly getting better of late, but proven NFL franchise QB’s shouldn’t be trade bait. 
 

That being said, I don’t see Lamar as a top level franchise guy.  I guess the Ravens also don’t.   Wouldn’t even put him in top 10 QB’s.  Superior athlete, not enough pocket QB skills when needed.  Heck, I’d take Jimmy G over him.

Frank Reich is gainfully employed again. The question is, is Lamar old enough for Frank to want him on the roster?

I think the Ravens do see him as a top flight guy. But Lamar’s contract negotiations haven’t been easy. They’re will to pay him a ton of money to stay long term, but Lamar wants more.

Word on the street is they offered him 250 mil with 150 mil of that guaranteed but he wants 250 mil guaranteed and will not move off that number, literally 100 mil cash difference! You would have to find a team willing to pay that plus willing to go all in with draft assets and then also willing to run that college style offense. People in Baltimore are going to riot if they trade him. No number of draft picks will be enough and how much could they possibly get for a player on a franchise tag that doesn't want to play for that team? Maybe 2 1sts and like a 4th? What are you going to do with that? There is no "next Lamar Jackson" coming out of college.

Fella misses an awful lot of time for demanding a fully guaranteed 250 mil.

Atlanta where running QBs waste their career lol

[aristocrat]

Commanders looking to sell. Get the mvp qb to get that process moving. They have weapons there as well 

[Orlando Buffalo]

Looking at teams that I think would be good instantly with him I would list Washington at the top of that list. After Washington I would not like to see him on the Jets, he would instantly make them a much better team.
